These movies make a lot of money, they have loyal fans and followers. The holiday season is going to be nothing but Star Wars...

I loved the first three movies. I was kinda lost of what Lucas was doing with the last three. I will play catch up.

This young man, is doing the correct thing. Stay focus, do your job, and let the money, and hopefully future roles, come to you.

I saw a post of white people organizing a boycott of the movie, due to a lead being a black man. I would think the youth would be more open about race, however the older gen, I would expect this from.

But the youth??
It is a sad part of life for many fans of comics, and science fiction.

Often, the stories are actual allegories of racism, & other acts of human cruelty. The heroes take a stand against bigotry & hate in their stories. Ironically, some extreme fans actually show just how much they are part of the dark side with their bigotry when true diversity (not the token one character crap) is introduced.

You should see the lengths many fanatics go through to explain why these comic & science fiction franchises should remain straight white male.

A lot of extreme fans are pissed at Marvel for introducing more women, people or color, and LGBT characters into their stories. DC comics is also slowly following this trend.

These stories & franchises have room for everyone.
I was shocked by my brother's response to something I said. (the 2nd biggest comic nerd)

I said, they should make Superman, black, or Arab (brown)...

He said, why? His response, Superman was their creation, not ours. How would I like it, if someone took my creation, and altered it?

Well, I told him, the creators of Superman can make him whatever they want. They only reason, I feel they haven't, is because of the backlash, that might come with it.

We grew up reading comics, and never thought of them if terms of black/white, just superhero's..

I guess it's easier to accept a green man (Hulk), than a black one, for some..

However, I can't wait to see this...


What I am about to say does not apply to all, but what I have on message boards.



This is the thing I have noticed about us as blacks, and other People of Color (POC).

We can enjoy fiction. We can enjoy the stories, the themes, and the characters.

For the most part, we don't care about color, just a great story.

Most of the time, we are overjoyed when competent diversity is included in our favorite works of fiction.

I still remember how ecstatic people were when Billie Dee Williams was brought into the Star Wars franchise. People were watching Star Wars anyway, but now even more incentive as added with diversity.

Many whites are not like this. Sometimes, it is more about the white male lead, than the actual story. It is okay to add a woman, or POC, but they are only side characters, at most. Many of them can't wrap their imaginations around a strong & competent woman/POC. They see it as a political/social agenda, as opposed to telling a great story with a different perspective.

A franchise should be strong enough where multiple characters can exist, or different interpretations of a single character can exist.

Just recently, some fans still think a green character is enough diversity for a comic book cast.

Nothing foolish about this great guy here.



...makes sense...


when you are a racist White HISP cop;



-you see a white cop treating one (1) single Black kid to McDonalds; he's a great guy!
-you see a Black Min. Farrakhan conducting MMM event plus working hard to fight White-racism while working even, harder, to uplift millions of Black people; he's no threat to the culture of White racism's GOVT agencies


...LOL...


Yep, so thx again Doc, for showing readers that they can always count on you to come use a pro-Black website to stagnate Black Progress.

As always, your inability to articulate using proper sentence structure is appalling.

Comic book writer David Walker had this to say after viewing the trailer.

David currently writes Cyborg for DC. He will soon be the writer for Power Man (Luke Cage) & Iron Fist, and Nighthawk for Marvel.

LOL @ your dumb brain up in here, embarrassing yourself, since you are one of the people who continue to support the Black Panther brand---while knowing they refuse to place Negroids in the role.

Once more, thoughts of me have compelled you post drama in one of my threads..... at 3:50 in the morning.

Good to know my hobbies are more important to you so early in the morning as opposed to the more serious claims you have alleged against me.

a racist White HISP, cop, is outstanding at going years here bragging about his policemen's paycheck he receives for 1)helping LAPD subjugate Black male suspects or 2)compromise forensic evidences


I wish all my enemies were as useless as you.
